The company Twitter was a mess before acquisition and is a mess after Trump bought it.

It's essentially a ring where rich and famous people try and dunk on each other but turns out advertisers don't like this sort of thing because maybe it's too inflammatory or the dunking distracts people from the potential product being advertised nearby.

The only thing that his purchase caused was that Musk became a sort of Dana White of the Internet, or Vince McMahon rather.

Plus all the people who think there are two kinds of people and it’s really important that everyone know what kind of person you are. Who wants to advertise against that?
The advertising situation got worse after the buyout.
